Spring/Summer 2008 Business Travel Guide

Forecast for
Brook Your Stay

Stretching 110 miles along Vermont's northwest border, Lake Champlain moderates temperatures for the area by five to 10 degrees compared to the rest of the state. The St. Lawrence Valley storm track helps Vermont rank in the top four states with the least amount of sunshine. The 145-day growing season starts May 30 and ends with the first frost around Oct. 3. Annual average rainfall is 33 inches.

Spring's warm days and cool nights start the sap running in the sugar maples. It also brings "mud season" to the back roads of the state as the frost loosens its grip.

The summers, while not long, are exceptionally pleasant, with an average of only four 90-degree or higher days per year. The average relative humidity is 78 percent.

Fall brings spectacular foliage, with peak colors beginning in the northern regions mid-September, gradually moving through the rest of the state by mid-October.

Expect snow by the end of November, with the last snowfall in mid-April. Snowfall averages 78.6 inches annually, typically in 2- to 5-inch doses.

Call the National Weather Service at Burlington International Airport at 862-2475 for updated weather reports.
